Researchers from Tohoku University, Manchester Metropolitan University, Gunma University, University of Cambridge and Kyushu Synchrotron Light Research Center have made progress in the quest for longer-lasting lithium–oxygen (Li‑O₂) batteries - an energy storage technology with the potential to power future electric vehicles and renewable energy grids.

At the heart of their discovery is a high-purity 13C-labeled graphene mesosponge (13C-GMS) - a unique carbon material featuring a porous, sponge-like structure. This advanced graphene framework allowed the team to precisely trace and distinguish how different parts of the battery degrade over time.

U.S-based Ascent Solar Technologies, focused on the design and manufacturing of lightweight, flexible thin-film photovoltaic (PV) solutions, has announced the signing of a teaming agreement with Emtel Energy USA, a provider of graphene-based electrostatic long duration energy storage (ELDES). 

The agreement is intended to achieve mutually beneficial goals that would advance Emtel Energy’s energy storage capabilities and aid the proliferation of thin-film PV solutions in space environments.

Zinc-ion batteries based on water-based electrolytes are inherently safe, environmentally friendly, and economically viable. They also mitigate fire risks and thermal runaway issues associated with their lithium-based counterparts, which makes them lucrative for grid-scale energy storage. Furthermore, zinc has high capacity, low cost, ample abundance, and low toxicity. Unfortunately, current collectors utilized in zinc-ion batteries, such as graphite foil, are difficult to scale up and suffer from relatively poor mechanical properties, limiting their industrial use.

In a new study, a team of researchers from the Republic of Korea, led by Associate Professor Geon-Hyoung An at the Department of Energy and Materials Engineering at Dongguk University, has proposed graphene-coated stainless steel foil as a novel alternative current collector. 

Paladin Power, a leader in next-generation energy storage systems, has announced a joint venture with Emtel Energy USA, a global innovator in solid-state graphene energy storage technology. The partnership will focus on co-developing a fully integrated, all-in-one, lithium-free energy storage system (ESS) for residential and commercial markets.

The new system combines Paladin's advanced 30kW bidirectional inverter with Emtel's proprietary supercapacitor-based graphene cells. Paladin's inverter supports 208V systems, enables vehicle-to-grid applications, and can harness power from solar, hydrogen, EVs, backup generators, and other sources-making it one of the most flexible energy platforms on the market. Emtel's low-risk, non-chemical cells, made of synthetic and sustainable graphene, deliver ultra-fast charging, zero heat generation, and a 25-year lifespan with over 500,000 charge cycles. The technology offers nearly twice the energy density of standard LiFePO₄ cells while being 60% lighter and not classified as a traditional battery.

According to reports, Salgenx has unveiled a comprehensive hybrid energy platform that combines its proprietary saltwater redox flow battery with a graphene-based flowable ultracapacitor and integrated thermal energy management capabilities. This system is said to deliver a flexible, dual-purpose energy storage solution for applications demanding both rapid power response and long-duration energy capacity, while also addressing thermal energy recovery and reuse.

Building on its saltwater-based redox flow battery architecture, Salgenx has introduced a flowable electrode component containing suspended graphene particles. This enhancement functions as a semi-liquid ultracapacitor, significantly increasing the available surface area for electrostatic charge storage and enabling high-speed charge and discharge cycles.

HydroGraph Clean Power, a manufacturer of high-purity graphene, and NEI Corporation, a leader in battery materials and testing services, announced the launch of NANOMYTE® FGA-1AD and NANOMYTE® FGA-1ND, a new line of advanced graphene dispersions. 

These innovative dispersions, a result of the companies’ strategic collaboration, integrate seamlessly into existing electrode slurries, replacing or supplementing traditional conductive carbons to enhance electrode performance. The outcome is improved electrical conductivity, enabling the development of better electrodes and expanding possibilities for high-performance energy storage solutions.
